2.25.10 | Washington, DC | The National Council for Interior Design Qualification, Inc.
released two multiple-choice practice tests for exam
candidates and others to use when preparing for the NCIDQ Examination.
The online practice tests are available exclusively through NCIDQ’s
store, QShop, linked from their Web site at www.ncidq.org. The all-new practice tests were developed in response to exam candidates who wanted valid, reliable study
materials directly from NCIDQ, particularly in light of the
restructuring of the exam content that took effect in January 2010.
NCIDQ has prepared two practice tests—one for each of the two
multiple-choice exams. Section 1 covers codes, building systems,
construction standards and construction administration. Section 2
covers design application, project coordination and professional
practice. The multiple-choice sections of the exam will be administered at more
than 60 locations around the United States and Canada on April 9 and
October 1.
